Giro Eyewear
Market Strategy and New Product Development

After 30 years as the global leader in bicycle helmets, Giro endeavored to expand into sport sunglasses, a fiercely innovative and competitive category.    
 

We considered the market and determined Giro's product, brand, and distribution opportunities. We developed a deep understanding of rider needs and opportunities. We recruited a world class eyewear R&D team,
partnered with leading 
optics innovatorsdeveloped an integrated marketing program,  and created a product launch process. In 18 months, we successfully launched a global sunglass program that was embraced by the best riders in the world, including Tour De France winner Alberto Contador.

Giro has established itself as a leading helmet and eyewear brand.
